Head goodies have arrived the valves are stronger stainless steel and coated in Nitride they also flow 2cfm more than factory. Springs allow 9000+ rpm due to higher seat pressure.

Very nice. Where did you get the supertech valve springs and seats from? And how much?

Imported them for about $400 for valves and $500 for valve springs and titanium retainers including shipping

PM Me and I will pass your details onto my supplier :)

Been waiting for an anouncement of the valve train upgrades :P

Im also thinking about MWR stage 3 cams but I just don't want to loose power below 4k its a daily drive.

Cars making good progress, dropped it off to Alex at Highbrook Automotive (New Zealand)

Pulled gearbox out, found standard clutch was slipping its ***** off after 30,000 km. Clutch got sent to autoclutch to be upgraded and new organic disk, since its my daily drive.

interesting build up, good luck with it!

Thanks, I have been driving around for the last week with new bearings, clutch and LSD

Great news is I now don't have a gearbox whine on de-acceleration

The clutch has a bit of shudder if you try and slip it more on/off now

The LSD did need some modification for speedo ring but no biggie

The best news is I no longer wheel spin on take-off great to have some traction

If i drop the clutch it leaves two nice black lines :)
